You will be missed!❤ I can remember the times I would see you passing by my house and I would make it my will to come out and speak to you! You always greeted me with a BIG smile! The last time I saw you, you had paused in front of Walgreens, I didn't know why, but when you looked up you had the most beautiful smile on your face! Keep that smile, Ms. Elaine as you smile down on us!!💖🙏🙏
In times like these, we need an anchor. Let your anchor be the love of God and the rememberance of how much your mother loved you. She was my friend, and I truly loved her. 😍 I will miss her, but God allowed us to share too much for me to be upset 😡 😢 about His decision. God gave me an Angel to walk with me here on earth. Now, she can fly around Heaven all day. Lovingly, Gloria Jones Poole (Neda)
My heart is so sad from the loss of our cousin. She was like one of my parent's girls and like a sister to all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with her son Shawn and her brother Lamar. Rest in peace. Linda Sewell Thornton
